Interesting question. When Digital Equipment Corp (DEC) was bought out, the
successor company disappeared the project. But in recent years a California
company has assumed the Dectalk name and produced the so-called USB version.
Sadly, it doesn't respond as immediately to commands, and I don't find the
speech as clear. In any event, since they're using the Dectalk brand name, I
assume they did some research and found the answer.

on a related topic, did the DecTalk software ever go public domain? It
might not be worth the trouble, depending upon how gracefully it has aged,
but there were one or two really nice voices in there. I always used betty.

I think after a long time of disuse, Dectalk will be out of battery juice. I
appreciate the offer. If you do somehow manage to get it work, I'll be
interested in the result.

jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx I have a dectalk which has the end
that looks like a cat5 plug on 1 end and a serial plug on the other. I
could try it for you but I don't have a power adapter for it. I seem to
have lost it.
